This week Team USA Head Coach <strong>Adam Krikorian<\/strong> announced the roster of 13 women that will take part in the 2016 Olympic Qualification Tournament starting <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1239458455\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 21<\/span><\/span> in Gouda, Netherlands. This event is Team USA&#8217;s one and only chance to qualify for this Summer&#8217;s Olympic Games and a top four finish will be required to punch a ticket to Rio. The 13 women selected for Gouda are the same that led Team USA to gold last month at the FINA Intercontinental Tournament in Lewisville, TX.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Four returners from the 2012 Olympic champs anchor the roster, led by captain <strong>Maggie Steffens<\/strong> (Danville, CA\/Stanford\/NYAC) alongside veterans <strong>Courtney Mathewson<\/strong> (Anaheim Hills, CA\/UCLA\/NYAC), <strong>Melissa Seidemann<\/strong> (Walnut Creek, CA\/Stanford\/NYAC) and the only two-time Olympian on the roster, <strong>Kami Craig<\/strong> (Santa Barbara, CA\/USC\/NYAC). Rising talents have joined the mix in recent years including 2016 AAU Sullivan award nominee, goalkeeper<strong> Ashleigh Johnson<\/strong> (Miami, FL\/Princeton\/NYAC), 2015 FINA World Championships MVP <strong>Rachel Fattal<\/strong> (Seal Beach, CA\/UCLA\/SOCAL), and two-time Cutino Award winner <strong>Kiley Neushul<\/strong> (Goleta, CA\/Stanford\/Santa Barbara).<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>While the conventional tournament waits with anticipation for the medal round, the Olympic Qualification Tournament features a quarterfinal round unlike any other. After five days of group play where Team USA will take on Japan, Canada, Spain, Greece, and South Africa it all boils down to a crossover round where the winner continues on the road to Rio and the loser does not.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>2016 marks the second time the USA Women&#8217;s National Team program has had to compete in this event. In the lead up to the 2000 Olympic Games, the first to feature women&#8217;s water polo, Team USA qualified in Italy after failing to qualify in the Pan American Games a year earlier. With Brazil serving as host in 2016, the Pan American Games in 2015 did not serve as a continental qualifier as it had in previous years.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Live streaming is planned for the Olympic Qualification Tournament, broadcast information will be distributed closer to the start of competition.
